STP FINALISATION - TOTALS NOT MATCHING

Hi -KS-,

Good call reversing the adjustment once you saw it pushed the figures the wrong way. What’s happened here is that the deduction was processed using a wage pay item. When a wage pay item is entered as a negative, it can bring the gross down in payroll, but for STP/ATO reporting it can still be treated as gross wages because it’s still sitting under a wage category.

What you’ll need to do is reverse both of the adjustment pays:

• The first one that used the negative wage amount, and
• The second one that used the positive and negative adjustment

After that, reprocess the pay the right way for the jury duty scenario. Instead of using a negative wage adjustment, just adjust the employee’s hours or pay amount on the normal wage line instead. You can also have a look at this guide for a bit more detail.

Cheers,
